Yeah I've posted on this before in a Toucan thread. It just seems to make no econonomic sense that something that has had additional energy spent on it demands a lower market price. I'd like to have an explanation for this irrational pricing system. It makes extract brewing a very expensive option when you consider the higher cost of products and the energy you have to pay for to boil everything up.
The only thing I can think of is that hopped kits sell in greater quantities. I guess you could comapre this to the price of poatatoes with the price of turnips. Potatoes are cheaper to buy although turnips are probably cheaper and easier to grow but there is less consumer demand for them. But you would think that a a greater demand would encourage a higher cost at the register. Oh well that's capitalist logic for you.
